In today's physics class, we went over Transparency 6-3 Worksheet (Uniform Circular Motion) , and both sides of the Centripetal Acceleration and Centripetal Force worksheet. Just a reminder, we had to hand in questions 4 and 5 of Centripetal Force worksheet for marks!
We also had to pick up one worksheet (Acceleration and Circular Motion) and two readings (Centripetal and Centrifugal Forces, and Motion Near the Earth's Surface). Please have the worksheet done for tomorrow's class and also read through both readings.
Also, if you still have your lab from Thursday, it is now overdue!
Enjoy the rest of your night!

Applet for Circular Motion
Circular Motion Applet
Take a look at the direction of the force vector and the acceleration vector.
What is the relationship between the tangential velocity vector and the acceleration vector?
What is the relationship between the tangential velocity vector and the force vector?
In what direction do both the force & acceleration vectors point? Can you explain why this is so?
